Daniel Thomas Minogue (4 September 1891 – 27 July 1961) was an Australian rules footballer, who played with three clubs in the (then) Victorian Football League (VFL), and who was the coach of five VFL clubs.
While serving in World War I, Minogue vice-captained the (winning) Third Australian Divisional team in the famous "Pioneer Exhibition Game" of Australian Rules football, held in London, in October 1916.
[5][6] Unhappy at Collingwood's treatment of his friend and former teammate, Jim Sadler, during the war, Minogue demanded a transfer to Richmond on his return from AIF service during World War I[7][8] created ill feeling and he had to stand out of competition for twelve months in order to secure the transfer.
In addition to playing at three VFL clubs (Collingwood, Richmond, and Hawthorn) he also coached at five VFL clubs (Richmond, Hawthorn, Carlton, St Kilda, and Fitzroy) — a record which (as of June 2022[update]) is yet to be equalled.
In August 1947, he was appointed as the official VFL players's advocate; a position he held until his death.
